Readings

These are books I’m working my way through.  Books are, for me, one of the greatest sources of self-teaching.  I often have a stack of these volumes in the ArtRoom where I can browse them time and time again before they’re due back at the library.  I find that if I’m checking and re-checking a book from the library, it ought to go down on my wish-list.  I’ve obviously found some of relevant value to me and the work I’m making.

I’ll give each section a label for category and hope that it’s easy enough for you to use.

I don’t own all of these books, but have read a good many of them from the library, and previewed even more of the using Google Books.

Enjoy!
